SOME IMPORTANT USES OF BLACKBERRY DEVICE

The advanced encryption capabilities of the BlackBerry Smartphone make it eligible for use by government agencies and state forces alike. President Barack Obama's use The President of the United States, Barack Obama, became known for his dependence on a BlackBerry device for communication during his 2008 presidential campaign. Despite the security issues, he insisted on using it even after inauguration, becoming the first President of the United States to use mobile email.

 USE BY GOVERNMENT FORCES

 An example is the West Yorkshire Police, which has allowed the increase in the presence of police officers along the streets and a reduction in public spending, given that each officer could perform the work desk directly via the mobile device, as well as in several other areas and situations. 

The US Federal Government and Department of Defense are also prominent examples of BlackBerry device users, the latter agency even stating that the BlackBerry smartphone is "essential for national security" because of the large number of BlackBerry users in the government. The high encryption standard of BlackBerry smartphones and the PlayBook tablet allow them to be the only consumer handheld devices certified for use by US Government agencies.

ORGANIZED CRIME USE

The Italian criminal group known as the 'Ndrangheta was reported on February 2009 to have communicated overseas with the Gulf Cartel, a Mexican drug cartel, through the use of the BlackBerry, since the texts are "normally difficult to intercept". RIM's view of users RIM CEO Thorsten Heins has said that BlackBerry users have "Very little time to consume and enjoy content" and so do not need  the third party apps that Android and Apple users enjoy.
